Author:Meyers, Bronwyn C; Grobler, Jan-Hendrik; Snedden, GCDate:Jul 2023A combustor was designed for a 200N micro-gas turbine [1, 2] using the NREC preliminary combustor design method [1, 2, 3]. During the design process, there are various aspects where there are no definitive methodologies for specifying the ...Read more
Author:Meyers, Bronwyn C; Jan, MA; van der Spuy, SJDate:Sep 2017In order to increase the power of a blowdown, turbine driven compressor test rig, a combustor was designed to insert in the flow before the turbine. The combustor was required to provide 800K output temperature in order to achieve this. The ...Read more
Author:Meyers, Bronwyn C; Grobler, Jan-Hendrik; Snedden, GCDate:Sep 2022A combustor was designed for a 200N micro-gas turbine for the model aircraft industry using the NREC design method. Multiple designs resulted which varied in terms of annular area split configuration, hole area splits and relative hole ...Read more
Author:Meyers, Bronwyn C; Snedden, Glen C; Meyer, JP; Roos, TH; Mahmood, GIDate:Nov 2012A stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (PIV) system was used to obtain the velocity field of a can-type combustor in the non-reacting condition. In order for these measurements to be taken, an optically accessible can-type forward flow ...Read more
